The main recurring theme in his works is a comparison of the readers ' gloomy, hopeless situations to what may happen in a space environment if we carry totalitarian ideas and habits into space worlds: Red Space Republics or Space Labour Camps, or both.

* Space is a damaging environment for life, as it would be exposed to radiation, cosmic rays and stellar winds.

The character Elim Garak once noted that Deep Space Nine's environment was very cold and very bright by Cardassian standards.

Film historian Linda Badley explains that the film was so horrifying because the monsters were not creatures from Outer Space or some exotic environment, " They're us ".

Space is such an alien environment that attempting to work in it requires new techniques and knowledge.

* Microgravity Science Glovebox ( MSG )-ISS Facility ( ISS Facility ) provides a safe contained environment for research with liquids, combustion and hazardous materials aboard the International Space Station

Space is a fairly predictable environment, but there are still risks of accidental depressurisation and the potential failure of equipment, some of which may be very newly developed.

The SEM measures in situ the effect of the sun on the near-earth solar-terrestrial electromagnetic environment, providing real-time data to the Space Environment Services Center ( SESC ).

Scientist / Astronaut researchers aboard the International Space Station are engaged in hundreds of advanced experiments, most of which could not be conducted except for the zero-gravity environment.

Space weather models are computer simulations of the space weather environment.

Space weather models differ from meteorological model in that amount of input is vastly smaller and no single space weather model yet can reliably predict the environment from the surface of the Sun to the bottom of the Earth's ionosphere.

The township's Open Space Program succeeded in acquiring large tracts of environmentally sensitive land which helped to slow the pace of development, preserve the environment and protect housing values.

Similarly, a 1972 ground-breaking study by Oscar Newman on a Defensible Space Theory described ways to improve the social environment and security of neighbourhoods and streets.

* Plan 9 from User Space ( aka plan9port ) is a port of many Plan 9 programs from their native Plan 9 environment to Unix-like operating systems, including Mac OS X.

Time and Relative Dimensions in Space ( 2001 ) takes a more modern myth as its subject-it is a life-sized mirrored model of the TARDIS from Doctor Who which at certain angles seems to blend into its environment.

* STS-107 ( January 16 to February 1, 2003 ) aboard the Space Shuttle Columbia was a 16 day mission during which the crew performed over 80 experiments testing applications of microgravity to gain insight into the environment of space and improve life on Earth as well as enable future space exploration.

In addition, in its payload bay, Columbia again carried the DFI package, and OSS-l ( named for the NASA Office of Space Science and Applications ) which consisted of a number of instruments mounted on a Spacelab pallet, intended to obtain data on the near-Earth environment and the extent of contamination caused by the orbiter itself.

* Space environment: although more a sub-discipline of physics rather than astronautics, the effects of space weather and other environmental issues constitute an increasingly important field of study for spacecraft designers.

Through the action of free fall ( e. g., Space Shuttle orbiting Earth ), the local effects of gravity are greatly reduced, thus creating a microgravity environment.

In Unique Forms of Continuity in Space ( 1913 ) he attempted to realise the relationship between the object and its environment, which was central to his theory of " dynamism ".

Laptops used aboard the space shuttle and International Space Station feature safety and operational improvements for the weightless environment they must operate in.

Other sources of knowledge on the actual space debris environment include measurement campaigns by the ESA Space Debris Telescope, TIRA ( System ), Goldstone radar, Haystack radar, the EISCAT radars, and the Cobra Dane phased array radar.

The solar arrays of the Hubble Space Telescope returned during missions STS-61 Endeavour and STS-109 Columbia are an important source of information on the debris environment.

The PBS Space Power Facility ( SPF ) houses the world's largest space environment vacuum chamber.

How effectively these warnings can be presented is seen in Pohl and Kornbluth's The Space Merchants, Vonnegut's Player Piano and Wyndham's Re-Birth.

Easily the best known of these three novels is The Space Merchants, a good example of a science-fiction dystopia which extrapolates much more than the impact of science on human life, though its most important warning is in this area, namely as to the use to which discoveries in the behavioral sciences may be put.

Space in any form is completely measured by the three dimensions.

Now a quiet-spoken, middle-aged man, Fiedler is an aeronautical engineer for Lockheed's Missiles and Space Division at Sunnyvale, where he played a key role in the development of the Navy's Polaris missile.

Asteroids is also the first game to use Atari's " QuadraScan " vector-refresh system ; a full-color version known as " Color-QuadraScan " was later developed for games such as Space Duel and Tempest.

He visited the ruins of Babylon and the subterranean secret of Memphis and spent ten years alone in the great southern desert of Arabia — the Roba El Khaliyeh or " Empty Space " of the ancients — and " Dahna " or " Crimson " desert of the modern Arabs, which is held to be inhabited by protective evil spirits and monsters of death.

Science fiction set in what was the future but is now the past, like Arthur C. Clarke's 2001: A Space Odyssey or Nineteen Eighty-Four, are not alternate history because the author has not made the conscious choice to change the past.

** Aquila pattern power armour is the most commonly used type of power armour in the Space Marines inventory

Tidbinbilla is a locality to the south-west of Canberra that features the Tidbinbilla Nature Reserve and the Canberra Deep Space Communication Complex, operated by the United States ' National Aeronautics and Space Administration ( NASA ) as part of its Deep Space Network.

The Apollo 16 command module Casper is on display at the U. S. Space & Rocket Center in Huntsville, Alabama.

* 1990 – STS-31: The Hubble Space Telescope is launched from the Space Shuttle Discovery.

A replica of the Wright Brothers ' wind tunnel is on display at the Virginia Air and Space Center.

The program also takes part in the Space Activities National Program ( PNAE ) which objective is to lead the country toward the autonomy of this technology, vital in a path to sustainable development.

On the Sinclair ZX80 and ZX81 computers, the Break is accessed by pressing Space.

He is perhaps best known for his role as Will Robinson on the CBS science fiction television series Lost in Space ( 1965 – 1968 ), as well as for his role as ambassadorial aide Lennier in the syndicated series Babylon 5 ( 1994 – 1998 ).

Papyrus is what he called ' Space Binding '.

Space Shuttle Challenger is depicted ascending toward the heavens in search of new knowledge in the field of solar and stellar astronomy, with its Spacelab 2 payload.

She is a veteran of two Space Shuttle missions, and departed the International Space Station on May 23, 2011, as a crew member of Expedition 27 after logging 159 days in space.

The Institute launched the Kavli Nanoscience Institute at Caltech in 2006, the Keck Institute for Space Studies in 2008, and is also the current home for the Einstein Papers Project.

The Spitzer Science Center ( SSC ), part of the Infrared Processing and Analysis Center located on the Caltech campus, is the data analysis and community support center for NASA's Spitzer Space Telescope.
